    In ICQ I used to be able to type a message one time, and then select multiple recipients.  I've never found a way to do this in GAIM (haven't "upgraded" to pidgin yet; Ubuntu apt-get not doing so), so I end up having to copy and paste the message multiple times and then go through and manually send each message.

    Am I missing something, or is this just not possible with Gaim/Pidgin?

      It is part of the plugin pack.  It is called group message.  It won't compile by default, but if you know what you are doing that is what you want.

      I know about the plugi-in pack, but having tried to build Pidgin on Windows (and failed -- I got Cygwin and most of the parts downloaded, but some of the downloads kept failing) I've given up. I don't understand why the gorup message plugin doesn't compile by default, when every other IM client I've used has that option. Is there any way to get the plug-in wihtout having to go through the build process?
